Na there will be a market for it. Fly in fishing trips where you have to pack light and they don't have graphs on their boats. Or just like they mentioned, canoes, kayaks or just additional ice fishing graph. I think it could be slick as hell.

What a waste of money. I give it three years if it ever comes out and it'll be gone.

They are definitely thinking outside the box but I can't see people carrying their tablet around or even constantly looking at their phone let alone battery consumption. Ive been a vexilar fan for years but that to me resembles something on a late night infomercial.

Honestly, if they can make it as evolved as the new graphs available and I don't see any reason they couldn't, the possibilities are pretty crazy. Soon enough they'll offer I pad docking stations for the boat, and battery life will be a non issue.

NO ipads allowed on my boat. Might also take away cell phone priveleges on the boat also besides mine. If i have to alert people that there bobber is down because they are texting it makes me shake my head.

This should work well for ice fishing and I'm glad to see that Vexilar has come up with a product to replace their "outdated and dead flasher technology"

This is to all my homees who've been down in the hood since day one; GST, Lycanthrope, Jiffy, Svnmag, eyexer, buckmaster81 and all the other real contributors to this site who were taken out long before their time! Keep it real fellas...

Haha ooooooooooooooo.

I told myself I'm going to quit clicking on threads involving gadgets. This thing looks cool. I wonder if this involves extra data plans? I'm not real savy with this sort of thing but if I want to create a hotspot with my iphone it tells me to get ahold of AT&T. I'm assuming because it costs more. If the "bobber" creates the wifi signal wouldn't there still be a service provider involved?

I dont go around guessing cup sizes either I just know a nice rack when I see one.

this doesn't impact your data
the bobbers and the fixed devices create their own wifi signal which the apps on the tablets/phones talk to. No routing through your data plans.

Really? Cool! It just seems to me that I have never seen a device that puts out its own wifi signal that dosent have a provider. So is vexilar the provider then and we basically pay for that when we purchase the device?

Vexilar isn't a provider in that you aren't getting data from a service. Rather the device is emitting a wifi signal which the app can connect to and communicate with. But you will not get any info from anything other then the device emitting the wifi; you aren't getting to the internet for example.

anybody buy this thing yet?
i really want to get it but it doesn't say much about ice fishing with it.
im assuming it will be fine.

i downloaded the app to my phone for a test drive. looks like the screen of my lowrance. i think it will be sweet. just wondering if anyone on here has tried it yet as i can't find much for reviews.
maybe i will have to be the guinea pig for once.
